A POOR MANS BARN.

The main building is 20x40 feet, with a
shed fifteen feet wide on one side and one
end, making the entire building 35x55
feet and is built as follows: Get out eight
large white oak posts, fifteen feet long,
and set them in the ground three feet, one
at each corner and two between on the
sides of main building. These must be
square on top and all on level; on the
side posts place hewn plates 4x6 inches,
and then four pieces crossed from each post
20 one on the opposite side; then put in
smaller posts, fifteen feet from side to end
posts, for the shed; they should be seven feet
above the ground. By putting posts
where marked in the plan, 2x6 inch
pieces viii do for plates. Now put up
your rafters on main building, and then
spike the end of shed rafters to them; it
can be inclosed by spiking 2x4 or 2x6
pieces on the posts to nail the siding to;
the inside can be arranged to suit ones
convenience.
In the barn shown in the cut the main
part, 20x40 feet, is used for hay; the side
she'd has a granary 15x25 feet, and six
stalls for horses or mules, three on each
side of a six foot passage, the horses heads
being next TO the passage. The managers
are made by setting posts in the ground
and mailing boards on the inside, and
make partitions between the stalls in the
same way. The shed at the end is for
five COWS; there is manger made the en-
tire length of the shed on posts set in the
ground, which come up high enough to
tie the cattle to. There are no partitions
between the cattle, and there are no par
titions between main building and sheds,
except at the granary.

Intemperance.

The Brotherhood of Freemasonry is
not total abstinence society. From
time to time i'll our own Grand Lodge
and elsewhere, efforts have been made
by jealous reformers to engraft upon
Masonry pledges of total abstinence
These efforts have generally failed, and,
in my opinion, have properly failed
True Masonry teaches, and has always
taught, the highest temperance. A
standing feproach to the Craft is the
abuse of Intoxicating liquors by its
members. 1t is this abuse which gives
force to and possibly justifes the posi-
tion of the advocates of total abstinence
Upon intemperance, in every form, and
especially the intemperate use of ardent
spirits, by whomsoeyer committed, Ma
sons should take no apOlogetic position
Drunkenness is a Masonic ofense, and
no single occurrence should be over
looked or treated as a simple weakness
The Master should see that the offender
was at least most seriously admonished
Repeated intoxication is one of the
highest offenses, and no i'll judged com
passion, no faint hopes of future refor
nation should prevent the Lodge from
fearlessly cutting off the faithles'
brother. To the victim tenderness ane
aid, if either will avail; to the offenst
unswerving justice. Thus alone can the
Craft be saved from universal reproach
and contempt. = Fabius III. Busbee
Grand Master, North Carolina.

Luck OF an Inventor.

A Young English mechanic in Troy
not long ago invented a new axle box
and nut which had a great deal Of merit
in it. and which attracted the atten-
ton of a famous New York carriage
maker One day one of the latters
agents went to the shop in Troy where
the young EnglishIuan was employed
and asked him about his invention and
patent and finally made him an offer
Of so, coo in cash for the latter The
young man thought he would accept,
but asked few hours TO consider He
talked with his employers, and as they
had aided him in securing his patents
they suggested that he give them the
privilege of making the purchase.
They offered him $4,000 and half
interest in the profits He accepted
the offer aud the next day informed the
carriage-maker's representative of the
fact. The latter gentleman promptly
said: Now that you have made up
your mind l want to say to you that we
have made a. high as Sz5, 900 a year
ont of what we call our spring. and
that Is not worth TO US nearly what
your axle would bring us You have
a very valuable invention" The
proof of this statement developed itself
almost Immediately. and it Is said that
the Troy concern, which has under
taken the manufacture of the new in
vention, will realize a profit of from
800, 900 to 500, 900 a year from it
The young English mechanic will soon
be very rich man.-Al6aay Journal.

She Calmly suffered Torture.

Mrs. Fremont. in her agreeable gos-
sip about her early life, makes mention
of wedding dinner-party she once at
tended at Lexington. Va.
One of the married daughters of the
hostess noticed that though her mother
was presiding at the dinner-table with
her usual grace vet fieeting expressions
of pain passed over her face. AT last
she sent a servant to ask if the mother
was too i'll to remain and should she,
the daughter, take her place. A mo-
ton of the head answered: mo.
When coffee was served in the draw
ing-room. the guests learned that the
hostess had been obliged to s'retire.
Rather than disturb the company she
had quietly endured torture.
A hornet had got caught under her
cane and had travelled about, stingine
as he went. Searching for an outlet
IL had turned down between the shoul-
ders. where it browsed about the poor
woman's back.
Fever came on and the lady was
Obliged to take TO her bed; but htl
training had made her willing to suffer
acutely at her post rather than to dis.
turb the enjoyment of her guests

Hen. john Il. Carlisle Outlines the
Issues of 1883.

Interview in New York Herald.1
''You ask me what will be the issues
in 1855 That depends largely on what
may be done in Congress during the
next session, and, to some extent, upon
the public characters and antecedents of
the two conventions. Unless taxation
is reduced and the revenues cut down to
such an extent as TO prevent a large ac-
cumulAtion of money in the Treasury,
the tariff question Will inevitably be a
very prominent one in the next canvass.
I hope an adjustment may be made
which will relieve the treasury and the
people, and settle this vexatious ques-
tion for a time at least. But | have re-
Gently seen some expressions of opin-
iols and purposes which are not at all
encouraging. The revenue-reform Dem
orats viii do all in their power, by max
ing reasonable concessions and other
wise, to secure proper legislation upon
this subject, and if nothing is done, the
responsibility must be taken by others.
We are willing to meet our political as
sociates of all shades of opinion upon
this subject in party caucus, and sup
port such measure of revision and re-
ductiCn as the majority may agree upon
after a full and free interchange of
views, and we have always been willing
to do this. We recognize the fact that
in adjusting the details of a measure
which affects so many conflicting inter
ests, concessions must be made on all
sides, and the honest opinion of all who
really desire to reform our revenue laws
and reduce taxes must be respected as
far as possible. All we can reasonably
hope for is to pass such bill as will
meet the general approval of the major
ity in the main features, and this we
can do if all Democrats will work to-
gether in good faith The platform of
the Ohio Democracy, which | have just
read, indicates areturn to the true prin-
ciples and policies of the party, and if
our friends everywhere will initiate the
spirit which appears to have animated
their State convention, there will soon
he perfect harmony in the party on the
subject of taxation.

Carbolic Acid as a Cure for Dyspep-
sia.

n o. City Item.l
OF late, cases of indigestion have been
treated with carbolic acid, its employ
ment being found very satisfactory in
that form of dyspepsia known as fer
mentative, accompanied by constant
sour risings and eructations of gas, with
pain after meals and discomfort even af-
ter drinking milk or coca. 1t has proved
useful in the form of glycerine of car
bolic acid, that is, one part of crystal
lized carbolic acid to four parts of glyc-
crime, the dose being from five to ten
,ninims ia mint water or other conven-
lent vehicle. In case of much pain of
the stomach after food, it has been found
useful to add five or six minims of the
liquor opii sedativus to each dose, and,
when there is want of tone in the seat of
indigestion and bad appetite, five to ten
minims Of the tincture of nux vomica
have proved serviceable. II is au inter
esting subject of inquiry, whether the
carbolic acid, in this application, acts
by arresting Preventative changes in the
stomach, or by its well-known anesthetic
influence on mucous membranes.

Sick Fowls.

Complaints are unusually frequent this
season in regard to sick fowls. In nine
cases out of every ten reported the disease
is roup in one of its several stages, and it
is caused from neglected colds, undue ex-
posure TO cold and wet, roosting IN
draughts or confinement in i'll ventilated
houses. The very first symptom of this
dreaded disease is a hoarseness and pecu-
liar noise made by the chick, which, for
lack of a better term, may be called a
''sneeze, - general dumpishness and dis
inclination TO eat. At this stage if prompt
and efficient treatment be given the birds
can be saved.
As roup is highly contagious, the first
thing TO be done is to isolate sick birds
from the well ones. The writer separates
from the flock the birds as soon as they
begin TO sneeze, confines them in yentl-
lated but dry coops The birds are fed on
cooked food, in which is mixed little
cayenne pepper and spirits of camphor,
while in their drinking water is put
Douglas mixture at the rate of two table
spoonfuls to gallon of water
At the second stage of the disease the
cold has developed an offensive discharge
from the nostrils and eyes, an offensive
breath, and refusal usually to either eat
or drink. Even at this stage the birds
may be saved by administering roup
piIls-German roup pills are popular
understanding to directions. keeping up
Douglas mixture in the water in which
has been dropped little carbolic acid.
When the third stage is reached, at whlcn
1uncture the head becomes much swollen
and ulcers appear, it Is folly TO doctor the
fowls. They ought to be killed imme-
diately and their bodies buried.
When once the roup, even In Its nrst
stage, has appeared, it is wise precau-
ton to feed the well fowls little sulphur
In their food, and tincture of iron IN the
drinking water We have given above
the more marked symptoms OF roup and
the remedies that have proven effectual
with us. Symptoms differ somewhat,
according to the violence OF the ATTACKS,
but the offensive breath, the sore throat
and mouth, the sneeze, discharge from J
nostrils and eyes, will, one or more Oh
them, mark the disease. Roup remeuies
are legion. but preventive means are best

Fodder corn, both for feeding green and
in a dry state, has become one Of the
staple crops. Sweet corn is a sort very
generally grown for fodder. Sweet corn is,
however, more difficult TO cure. being
liable to mold, and for this reason some
farmers practice sowing field corn when
the fodder is required for winter use.
Blount's prolific corn, owing to its large
yield, has proven a popular sort in some
sections for fodder.
Corn for fodder is sown broadcast by
some, but progressive farmers contend
that better results are gained when the
seed is drilled in, with sufficient space be-
tween the rows to insure the air and sun
shine having free access to the plants
For early feeding the first planting Of
corn for fodder should be early, of course.
Much seed is put in, however, during the
latter part of June and early part of July,
with good results, for winter use

The difficulty of curing fodder corn in
its immature state tempts many farmers
into permitting it to become too ripe be-
fore cutting. The stage of Towering is
considered the best time to cut other
forage crops, and corn appears to be no
exception. The rule very generally OBJ
served among experienced growers is to
cut fodder corn for drying in the early
blossom of the tasseL At whatever stage
the fodder is harvested, it is wise to have
the crop cut before it has been touched by
frost
Stacking is considered the safest method
for preserving the fodder. There are three
requisites for keeping the fodder in good
condition: Bottom ventilation, thorough
central ventilation, and such an arrange
ment of the bundles in the stack that rain
or snow cannot penetrate, but must run
off as the rain falls from the roof of a
shinpled hOuse
